GoAhead Ventures

GoAhead Ventures is a Venture Capital fund based in Silicon Valley managing over $250M in AUM. Our mission is to work with entrepreneurs at the earliest stages of their company. We built GoAhead as a startup, not a traditional VC firm, operating at startup speed with direct access to decision-makers. We've developed a streamlined process for founders to pitch via our website: the "GoAhead Process" lets founders worldwide get in front of our partners and receive a rapid decision the day after a partner pitch, with all three managing partners reviewing every submission and a signable SAFE rather than termsheets. GoAhead invests in pre-seed and seed stage companies across all technology sectors and geographies, flexible to lead, co-lead, or follow, with typical checks of $500K–$1M. The firm makes over 30 deals a year, maintains deep connections across the US and Japan, and has been in operation for over 11 years.
